🔴 CHILD SEX PREDATOR SENTENCING DELAYED OVER DANGER TEST
A Sudanese national who snatched a five-year-old girl from the street before sexually assaulting her has seen his sentencing delayed because the probation service failed to assess his "Dangerousness."
Mohammed Abdulraziq, 33, of Winson Green, was due to learn his fate at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday, 15 January 2026. However, the hearing was adjourned after it emerged that the vital psychiatric and risk reports required to determine if he poses a life-long threat to the public had not been completed.
The Abduction and Assault
The court heard the harrowing details of the incident, which occurred on 30 March 2024. Abdulraziq, who had been consuming beer and smoking the synthetic drug "Mamba," abducted the five-year-old child and took her to his room in a shared house in Winson Green.
The girl was only saved when a friend of her frantic mother looked through a window and witnessed Abdulraziq standing next to the child; both had their shorts pulled down. The door to the room was forced open, and the child was rescued.
Following a trial, Abdulraziq was found guilty of:
- False imprisonment - with intent to commit a sexual offence.
- Sexual assault.
Why the Delay?
Under UK sentencing guidelines, if an offender is convicted of specific violent or sexual crimes, the court must consider if they are "dangerous."
Judge Kerry Maylin explained that the probation service had yet to provide the necessary assessment. If Abdulraziq is formally deemed "dangerous," it will trigger a much longer Extended Sentence. This would mean:
- A longer custodial term: He would serve a greater proportion of his sentence behind bars.
- Extended Licence: He would remain under strict monitoring for years after his release.
- Deportation: As a foreign national convicted of a serious violent and sexual crime, his status as a Sudanese national makes him a primary candidate for automatic deportation proceedings upon completion of his term.
A History of Violence
The court was also reminded of Abdulraziq’s "prolific and erratic" history of violence in the years leading up to the attack.
Just five days before the abduction, he targeted a father and son by jumping onto their car bonnet. When confronted, he ripped off a windscreen wiper, used it as a weapon, and bit the son on the arm. Furthermore, in November 2022, he was also involved in a terrifying incident where he threatened a doctor with a kitchen knife.
The Victim's Ordeal
While Abdulraziq awaits his new sentencing date of 13 March 2026, the family of the young victim continues to grapple with the trauma of the "wicked" attack that was only interrupted by the swift action of a family friend.
